Had a nicely busy day today. :)

Witnessed a bone marrow aspiration/extraction on an 18 year-old girl.

A huge needle was used (the green one in pic) to bore (or hammer) through the bone to extract  the marrow. It was one of the procedures which made me cringe to the extent of feeling nausea.

Although local anesthesia was administered, she was crying in pain.  :( The ordeal lasted for 15-20 minutes. It was a huge relief for all of us when it was over.

Alright some nicer stuff… Lol…

Sunset over hostel

Loraine me Tiffany (my roomie!)

Claudia Loraine me
1 month of being together in the same ward, of persevering, of learning, of sleepiness and of joy. :)

 

Last night at NUH. A typical image of a dark corridor with a green EXIT sign. Muahaha.

 

It’s finally our last day @ NUH tmr.
I know I will miss the nurses and patients, yet I can’t wait to flee from NUH hahaha. Talk about emotional conflict.

I reckon I won’t have much of a holiday either… :(

Let’s talk about drama.

My friend’s friend is attempting to commit suicide at this very moment, after a failed attempt by popping 8 sleeping pills. (Try 10 Panadols, it’s more effective.)

And to think that my patients are fighting hard to preserve their lives at this very moment too.

-_-

When Death calls your name, you can’t run away. However, committing suicide is like running into the arms of Death, celebrating the halt of the tragic life you chose for yourself.

I shan’t comment further on this here, it might become controversial.
